“The reputation of the Mississippians for heroism was fully sustained by this regiment.  Its loss and killed in wounded, which was far greater than that of any other regiment, tells sufficiently the story of discipline and courage… Suffice it to say that it is entitled to all praise.”  

General George B. Crittenden.

“Doubtless its heroic self-sacrifice saved the main part of the Confederate command from capture.”  

Dunbar Rowland
